Unrren STATES PATENT FFIQEO FRANK E. DARROW AND DEON E. PECK, OF BRISTOL, CONNECTICUT.

IMPROVEMENT IN TOYS AND DOLLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52,14 2, dated January 23, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANK E. DARROW and DEON 1*]. PEcK, both of Bristol, county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Inn'n'ovei-nents in the Manufacture of Toys or Dolls; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full description thereof, sufficient to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same.

The object of this improvement is to produce a cheaper and more durablearticle. The expensiveness andirksomeness ot'working the various kinds of material and compositions, together with their perishable or fragile nature, have induced the effort to produce a cheaper and more durable material.

The nature of this improvement consists in the substitution of rawhide for, or in place of, those substances now used in the manufacture of toys or dolls, to produce which we first make proper molds. The blank of rawhide is then placed over and pressed into said die or mold, to produce the form or shape, after which the parts are secured together by the use ot'any suitable adhesive substance. By the use of this material (rawhide) as a substitute for other materials or compositions heretofore used for the man u t'acture of toys or dolls we are enable to produce a cheaper and more durable article.

Having thus shown the nature and character of this improvement, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The employment of rawhide in the manufactureot'toy dolls, substantiallyas described.
